Mix the ingredients in a highball glass or mug. Stir with the cinnamon stick, garnish with apple.

We also tried it on ice.

RP Servings: 1

RATING: 3 stars warm, 3 1/2 stars on iceThere were 4 of us trying this and the ratings were unanimous, even though 2 of us prefer cider warm. This is a really nice, refreshing cocktail and the warm one would be great sitting by a firepit or in front of the fireplace. The cinnamon stick is a little irrelevant, but you can use it as a straw - or leave it out!

This is a good drink for the repertoire. Not one you'll make all the time, but still a nice taste of fall.

Whisk together all dressing ingredients. Toss with salad immediately before serving.

RP Servings: I halved it, and it was still probably 6-8 servings.Stars: This gets 3 stars. I had to tweak it by adding more apple cider vinegar and salt, and it still wasn't quite what I was hoping for it to be. Don't get me wrong- it was good, and I would definitely make it again, it just wasn't the greatest.

In small bowl, toss apple slices in 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. Top each triangle with apple slice.

Starting at short side of each triangle, wrap dough around apple.

Brush the crescents with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until crescents are deep golden brown and apples are softened. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Serve warm.

​RP Servings: "Technically" 8, but as this is "Real People Servings" and not "what the box says servings," it's 3 servings.Stars: 4, at least. These were flipping delicious. They were everything you hope they're going to be when you hear "crescent rolls, apples, butter, sugar, and apple pie spices." I highly, highly recommend.

I'm not doing Weight Watchers, but it's never a bad thing to find a quick and healthy recipe to satisfy those sweet cravings. Plus you guys know how I feel about mug recipes, so I might as well try out some "baked apples."

Ingredients:

1 Apple

1 Packet of Splenda

1 tsp water

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cornstarch

Peel and slice your apple, and place the apple into a microwave safe dish.

Sprinkle the Splenda across the top, add in water, cinnamon and cornstarch.

Cover the container, leaving a vent for steam and microwave for about 2 minutes. I covered my mug with a damp paper towel with holes poked in it.

RP Servings: 1Stars: 2. The only way to say this was good was if you added so many qualifiers as to be absurd. It was fine- for a microwaved, super-healthy, fast, weight watchers snack. The texture was weird, it somehow managed not to be very sweet, and it was overall just not worth it.

Sooooooo.... This is a recipe my mom makes which I love, and I just found the closest Pinterest recipe that I could find to it and said "close enough, give me my warm applesauce." I'm sorry. But also not really sorry, because this is really good.

Add apples and sugar on top. Mix together. As a side note- for my mom's recipe, I'd half the amount of sugar for this many apples, and put about 2/3 cup of water. Not that I'm comparing or anything.

Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8 hours. Mash it all together, but not too much- you still want some yummy bigger apple pieces. This first picture is half done.

ALWAYS serve warm. You can top it with cinnamon, whipped cream, or ice cream if you want. Or just eat it plain. Yummm.

​RP Servings: Ryan servings and regular people servings do not mesh well here. Regular people servings are maybe, I dunno. 1 serving per 1.5-2 apples? Ryan servings are, "just give me a spoon, this will be my dinner."Stars: 1 billion. Or 5. I've probably gone through 5 giants bags of apples to make applesauce in the last 3 weeks.
